Skyar went Javelina hunting with his friend Cody this past weekend. I explained to Slade that a Javelina is a pig, so he calls them pigalina's. It is a pretty funny story of how he got it. If you don't like to see animals killed, I'm sorry, just don't look at the pictures!
Cody and Skylar posing with their pigs. I think Skylar is trying to stand as tall as he can because Cody is quite taller than him. Cody's grandparents live near by the hunting area, so they went there to clean out the pigs and take showers themselves.
Skylar posing with the pigs. His is on the left hand side I believe. They turned out to be almost exactly the same size. It looks like he is sitting in the cactus! I just noticed that.
This is how Skylar packed the Javelina back to the truck. I don't know if I would be able to have a dead pig hanging off my shoulder like a purse.
Okay, I should have switched these two pictures around, but below Cody is poking Skylar's javelina with an arrow. After Skylar shot it, it ran off and hid in these rocks! I guess they poked at it for a while to see if they could get it to come out, but didn't have any luck with that. So if you look at the above picture, you can see that Skylar has tied a rope around its neck and is pulling the javelina out that way. The poor thing was still alive as he was doing that but it was dead when he got it out! I cannot believe my husband could do such a thing! But, he is going to be a firefighter and will see gruesome stuff all the time. I guess you could get in trouble if you shoot more than one animal so that is why they went thru all the trouble of pulling it out. So, congrats to Skylar and Cody for a succesful hunt. Now Skylar wants me to put that dead pig in my crockpot and eat it for dinner! He has got to be crazy! I've eaten some weird stuff because of him, but this is where I draw the line.
By the way, the clicking sound that you hear on the video is from the Javelina. They click their teeth together when they are scared or in distress.

Kari- I don't blame you. I don't think I would want that in my kitchen either. Good luck with that one. I think I would have to find a way to make it disapear from the freezer. That is the one thing I have never been able to eat that they have brought home.
this may be an ingornate question, but what do you do with the javelinas now? Are you planning on eating them? What do they taste like (tough ham?)
Pigalina? So cute!
it's funny you posted this, because just last night my bro in law had javelina for dinner and was raving about how delicious it was! i don't know if im brave enough to try it out for myself
